Rockfax Description
The thin crack is reached by a delicate traverse from the left or direct by a hard mantel. It provides finger-jams, runners and slippery footholds, and leads to the Right Twin Cave. Escape easily out right across the balcony or tackle the next route. © Rockfax

βeta: I was a bit apprehensive to do the route as the traverse to the crack looked challenging and also there were tiny holds for feet but overall it was very nice route that lead to a balcony and twin cave. | ||

βeta: The direct start is the obvious line, and I was most surprised when my friend who's several inches shorter than I made the long reach no probs, apparently a toe hook comes in very handy. If you get to the balcony, you should definately go for Hardings finish. | ||

βeta: couldn't agree with comment about dirct start being the only proper way to begin route! This "alternative" start is a unique vs at stanage-try it! | βeta? | |

βeta: The entertainment comes from getting onto the shelf and attempting to stand up for the long reach to the break above. Decent protection from there on though. | βeta? | |
